Lindsey Graham Wants To Shoot Bernie Sanders In The Face?

A partial transcript of an MSNBC segment in which Sen. Lindsey Graham teaches Kasie Hunt how to skeet shoot:

GRAHAM: "I'm gonna get you motivated to want to kill the clay pigeon..."
...

GRAHAM: "Alright, do a Bernie Sanders."

SKEET OPERATOR: "Alright."

GRAHAM: "Pull!"

(SOUND OF GUNSHOT)

GRAHAM: "Sorry about that, Bernie!"

(LAUGHTER)

...........

“If you knew anything about me, you wouldn’t be near me at 6 o’clock with a gun,”
Graham said.

shouldn't there be an investigation?

Yeah, about that. I don't know much about Grahm. But, I am quite certain from what I do know, I wouldn't ever want to be near him at anytime. Luckily for me I am neither a politician or a rich person so I don't ever have to worry about that.

The gathering was winding down by Saturday morning, when about 20 or so attendees—including Katie Couric—boarded buses for the Kamas Valley Lions Gun Club, where Graham was holding a skeet shoot.

“That was a hard left, that was Elizabeth Warren right there!” one attendee said when he hit a clay pigeon that had taken a sharp turn to the left.

“Alright, do a Bernie Sanders!” Graham said, firing his shotgun. The pigeon splintered. “Hey!” he shouted. “Sorry about that, Bernie!”

Universally, chickenhawks like Graham are cowards. That's why they push for more military intervention - to keep their fears at bay.

The SS provides protection to "major presidential and vice presidential candidates and their spouses within 120 days of a general presidential election. As defined in statute, the term "major presidential and vice presidential candidates" means those individuals identified as such by the Secretary of Homeland Security after consultation with an advisory committee." http://www.secretservice.gov/faq.shtml
